Page 48 - Manafort Case News Today

Whether it works within this case to change some of those behaviors and change some of those actions, i dont know, but this is consistent with how we enforce. >> you can see much more of lester holts exclusive interview with twitter ceo jack dorsey tonight on nbc nightly news. well be right back. see thats funny, i thought you traded options. im not really a wall street guy. whats the hesitation? eh, it just feels too complicated, you know? well sure, at first, but jj can help you with that. jj,...

Look guilty? >> we live in the united states of america. youre presumed innocent until proven guilty. >> is there a problem with the jury in this case? >> are you confident going into closing argues tomorrow? >> we are very confident. thank you. >> so three clear questions there. he answered the first one, skips the second one and answers the third one. the one he skipped is from julia ansley. mr. downing, is there a problem with the jury in this case? paul manaforts defense lawyer paused looked...

Calk on top which is exactly the same. we posted them on the screen in case you want to clip and save that and post it on your refrigerator as a reminder how exactly the trump administration was on it considering people for jobs like running the u.s. army when the only time they made sense and stopped misspelling even very basic single syllable words was when they were copying and pasting directly from wikipedia like freshmen. actually freshmen are nice. they dont deserve that, im sorry. its bef...

Burden of proof. thank you. >> so whats new as of this moment is that were learning they dont begin deliberating tonight, that it took long enough today, including those oral instructions from the judge, that the jury will decide all of this, analyze the case, the evidence, the burden of proof, starting tomorrow and they, like any jury, can reach their judgment anytime. a conviction on all the charges could potentially, depending on sentencing, give trumps former campaign manager an effective li...

The president himself could decide to intervene in this case and decide he is being to issue paul manafort a pardon. if that happens, thats the only eventuality that might happen next in this case that could affect the next criminal kril against paul manafort. if he is pardoned, all bets are off. provided he is not pardoned, whether paul manafort is acquitted or convicted by the jury that will deliberate his fate tomorrow, he is due to start a second felony trial in washington, d.c. in just a fe...

An acquittal. so that cant happen. the one possibility is will there be some kind of holdout juror, not based on the evidence but for some kind of, you know, jury nullification reason. it shouldnt hurt mueller whos come through with a basically bulletproof case and has proven it and really the defense had nothing to counter it with today. but i think so. i think if there is a holdout jury and a mistrial, it will generally hurt him. conversely, if theres a solid conviction here, i think it will m...

Which is why it makes sense as opposed to everything else he wrote. cut and pasted from the role and responsibilities of the secretary of the army. thats the wikipedia page from 2016 which we have screen shotted on the bottom and the paragraph from steve caulk on the top which is exactly the same. in case you want to clip and save it as a reminder of how the trump administration was on it, considering people for jbs like running the u.s. army in the transition when the only time they made sense ...

Should be swift. if its not swift, then i think thats really going to be a concern for the government. but i want to make up -- >> just to get that point, and then you can go ahead. youre saying the longer theyre deliberating, the worse that is for mueller because it suggests a holdout in otherwise what could be a, quote, slam dunk case? >> correct. it sounds like the instructions were read verbally, which is unusual, and the instructions set forth what to prove. that might take them some time. ...

Question as to how this all relates to the overall criminal charges that paul manafort is facing. that the jury will deliberate tomorrow. today was the day when he made a virtue out of this scheme for paul manafort. some happened in open court today. i will read a piece from the court print where the judge throws a lightning bolt in the courtroom at that argument. what manaforts lawyers tried to do at the end of this case is tried to say, tried to argue to the court that this bank ceo wanted a t...

>> theres no vetting process i could have gone through to check paul manaforts financial stability. i couldnt call and say, hey, can you run a background check? it doesnt work that way. >> the trump campaign was a clown rodeo. corey li corey lewandowski was not an ideal campaign manager. trump lacks the discipline, patience and sophistication to attract "a" level people. he always talks about playing three-dimensional chess, most of the time its like third graders playing bin go -- bingo. they w...
